The Goods from the Woods - Episode #223 – “Presidential Kombat” with Laura Crawford

In this episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys, guest host Sam Harter, and VERY SPECIAL return guest, comedian Laura Crawford, go back to that old chestnut: "WHO'D WIN IN A FIGHT?". This time it's a Great American Bash as we try to figure out who'd win in a bracket-based championship fighting tournament amongst former chief executives. Will John Adams' nerd rage overcome Warren G. Harding's drunken master style? Will Abraham Lincoln's height and farm strength be able to triumph over Richard Nixon's tricky tactics behind the ref's back? Can we get JFK to quit plowing celebs and East German spies long enough to actually fight anyone? Only one way to find out! Listen to this episode and follow Laura on all forms of social media @CrawfordComic.  Song of the week is "The Death and Resurrection of George W. Bush" by Jonny Moze.

Opening Arguments - OA232: Trump’s Plan to Weaponize the Census (& Bridgegate!)

Today's deep-dive Tuesday takes us back to a time in which politically-motivated revenge was actually seen as a scandal; namely, Chris Christie's Bridgegate.  There's a new ruling out of the Third Circuit that affects two Christie staffers, and... well, you'll just have to listen and find out!

Then, it's time to take a long look at ongoing litigation surrounding the Trump Administration's efforts to deter Democrats from registering for the Census, thus reducing their voting power.  What does a trial in district court have to do with the Supreme Court's recent grant of certiorari?

After that, we answer a terrific Patron listener question regarding the European loser-pays-legal fees model versus the American pay-your-own-way model.  Yes, the American model seems counter-intuitive at best (and downright regressive at worst), but is shifting to a loser-pays model the answer?  Andrew talks about his experiences and the guys go through a bunch of options.

And finally, we end with the answer to Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #103 on the Takings Clause!  As always, remember to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!
